What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • CalculationLand 696 m² against a 157 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Nedlands (last 5 years) with land size: median $3,850/m² of land (n=44). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 696 m² — that is not official geometry. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $768/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 696 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING WITH THIS BUNGALOW BEAUTY IN NEDLANDS!

Read the full description

Tired of cookie-cutter homes with zero personality? Step into a masterpiece from the 1930s that screams "character" from the moment you cross the threshold. Nestled on a massive 696m² block, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Art Deco delight sits quietly on a leafy street in prestigious Nedlands, offering the perfect blend of charm, space, and privacy.

This property doesn't just promise a fantastic family lifestyle-it offers future investment potential, too. With an approved Development Application approved in December 2023 by the City of Nedlands, you're all set and ready to go.

STEP INSIDE

From the second you enter, the high ornate ceilings and original architraves tell you-you're not in just any home, you're in THE home. Bedroom 4, once the formal lounge, boasts stunning original features. Picture yourself basking in the evening light streaming through those iconic sash windows. Bedroom 2 is equally as impressive with exposed brick and high ceilings, gazing out west over the front garden.

THE HEART OF THE HOME

The kitchen? It's charmingly original with a layout that's as functional as it is stylish with the retro-nostalgic Star Wars feature wall. Look out from here and catch glimpses of your private garden oasis and sparkling pool, inviting you for a shimmering dip, followed by a moment of repose as you imagine yourself as a poolside celebrity. We'll even throw in the floppy hat, oversized black sunglasses, and a froufy cocktail! Oh, and let's talk about the master suite-a tranquil retreat tucked at the rear of the house with dual-aspect windows, a generous layout, and patio doors that lead directly to the pool. Ensuite? Of course.

MORE SPACE TO LOVE

The open-plan living area is the beating heart of this home, featuring informal living, a dining space, and a cozy study-all with sweeping views of the backyard. Step outside through the patio doors and into your alfresco paradise, framed by stunning Wisteria and perfect for summer BBQs or quiet evenings. Got a green thumb? This yard is begging for your creative touch. With ample space for a future lawn and a shed at the far end, the potential is limitless.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY WITH INVESTMENT UPSIDE

Need more? There's Bedroom 4, which doubles as an office next to the living room, perfect for guests or your growing family. With R60 zoning on a spacious block, this property isn't just about living the good life now-it's a smart investment for your future.

THE LOCALE

Location? Unbeatable. North of Stirling Highway on a "not to big and not to small" lot of 696m2 that is zoned R60. Super convenient to Claremont Quarter and the beach; equally convenient to UWA, the Hospital Zone and even Perth CBD. Just a stone's throw from St Thomas Primary School. Just minutes walk to several cafes for coffee or bread: Elixir Café one direction or the Common Bakery the other. Steps to the 24 hour Taylor Road IGA. Head to the nearest bus stop for public transit. You'll be in the heart of Nedlands, with all the buzz of Claremont just around the corner.

In short, this Nedlands charmer is the full package. Art Deco elegance meets modern family living. It's private. It's peaceful. And it's waiting for you.
